What inspired me today was an article in Time about an island off the cost of Yemen in the Indian Ocean that is covered in alien looking unique vegetation and animals. This island is called Socotra. This image to the left was my favorite photograph from that article. I am always inspired when reading or hearing about secluded spots on earth with unique plant and animal life. This tree is amazing to me for a few reasons. It seems like it is from another world. The bark and branches have an odd orange tint to them that makes it seem weird and amazing to me. The shape of the foliage is also very unique, it seems like it would be at home as a sculpted shrub.
